Subhead:'I'll be damned if I'm going to stand here and listen to someone say that the parents deserve rights over a child. No, they don't. They absolutely don't,' said Brendan Maguire, who crossed the floor from the Liberals to the Progressive Conservatives in 2024.# Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative MLA Brendan Maguire unleashed an extraordinary anti-parents’ rights tirade in the legislature, declaring that parents do not have rights over their own children and using his own traumatic childhood as justification for the sweeping claim. During a heated exchange at Province House, Maguire blasted another MLA for citing the Canadian Alliance of Nova Scotia, accusing the group of anti-transgender views and “hate speech.” He mocked concerns about schools socially transitioning children without parental knowledge, calling the organization’s material “fear-mongering” and saying, “That entire site is fear-mongering.” He also denounced the group’s criticism of provincial education and health policies, saying lawmakers should “make sure that it’s not filled with hate speech toward the LGBTQTI community” before quoting outside sources in the legislature. But it was Maguire’s comments on parental authority that stunned the chamber. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to stand here and listen to someone say that the parents deserve rights over a child. No, they don’t. They absolutely don’t,” Maguire said.
